PPT97: Presentation Designs Are the Same as Design Templates

ID: Q189822

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows

SUMMARY

What were known in earlier versions of PowerPoint as templates are called Presentation Designs in PowerPoint 97. These files have a .pot extension and are in the folder called:

   Templates\Presentation Designs

which is in the same folder as Microsoft Office.

However, this folder is the only place in which these files are called Presentation Designs. Elsewhere in PowerPoint, the term Design Template is used, but it refers to the same thing. For example:

The icon used to apply Presentation Designs has a Tooltip that says Apply Design Template.
There is an Apply Design command on the Format menu.
The dialog box where you select and preview Presentation Designs is entitled Apply Design.

MORE INFORMATION

The terms Presentation Design and Design Template are fully interchangeable.
